Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has spoken out on his future at the Turin club with his contract close to running out.
New Juventus manager Thiago Motta is already getting his feet firmly under the table and is closing in on his first big signing for the Italian giants.
HITC understands that Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz is closing in on a move to Juventus with the Italian giants offering Enzo Barrenchea instead of Weston McKennie to get the deal done.
If the signing of the Brazilian midfielder is complete, he would be the first choice option in the middle of the park, which begs the question what will happen to Adrien Rabiot.
Rabiot opens up on his future
Adrien Rabiot, who started for France during their first game of the 2024 European Championships in Germany, has just two weeks left to run on his current contract.
If his contract is not renewed, the Frenchman will have his pick of clubs to choose from and the midfielder was asked about his future at the club.
“I thought my future would have been sorted before the Euros,” said Rabiot, as per Gazzetta Dello Sport. “That isn’t the case but I’m not worried about that.
“I am focused on the competition (Euro 2024). I have put that to one side. I am speaking to my agent but that’s a secondary priority. I am fully focused on the France national team. I’m not worried about my future.”
Last season for the Italian giants, Rabiot featured in 31 Serie A games under Massimiliano Allegri, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
Premier League clubs are keen on Rabiot
HITC previously reported that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are understood to be keen on the French midfielder this summer.
The two North London clubs were understood to have held talks with the representatives of the midfielder but they weren’t the only sides taking a keen interest in his future.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United were also keen as were Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool but with a new manager now at the helm at Anfield, it is unclear if the Reds remain interested.
